The team at Los Angeles General Medical Center is calling upon the public to step forward with any information that could help reconnect an unidentified patient with his relatives after he was admitted more than a week ago, the hospital appears to be at the end of its tether with no clues surfacing thus far, according to a bulletin released by the county. Found bewildered at Redondo Beach, the patient is described as a senior male in his late 60s or early 70s, with an average height of 5'8'' and a weight of 189 pounds, sporting grey hair and blue-grey eyes, and his physique is characterized as medium to heavy.

This John Doe, as he's referred to in the absence of his true identity, is not void of distinguishing marks—adorned with distinctive tattoos on his left arm and inner wrist, these body arts might be the key to unlocking the mystery of his past, if only someone would recognize them. Details of this quandary have been outlined on the hospital's alert page, and yet, despite the specificity of the symbols inked upon his skin, answers remain as elusive as his name.

Anyone who could possibly shine a light on this man's identity or his familial ties is encouraged to get in touch with Karmen Wiseman, the Clinical Social Worker at Los Angeles General Medical Center's Department of Social Work. Wiseman is available to field any tips or leads at 323-409-7715.
